Enriching the assortment of cultivated plants is one of the strategic directions of the national economy. The introduction, research and cultivation of new species and varieties of precious plants contribute to solving the problems related to the Food Programme of the Republic of Moldova. Aronia surpasses 2-4 times the traditional fruit species in the amount of iodine in fruits. Aronia berries contain vitamins (P, C, A, B1 ,B2, P, E), carbohydrates, carboxylic acids, tannins and pectin. In the amount of vitamin P (from 1200 to 6100 mg%) in fruits, aronia surpasses main traditional fruit plant species [1,2,3]. Aronia fruits and juice help strengthening the walls of blood vessels and are indicated for people suffering from hypertension, but are contraindicated for people suffering from gastritis or duodenitis. Aronia berries are a valuable food and pharmaceutical source with therapeutic properties: vasoprotective, antiviral, hypotensive, antioxidant, anti-atherosclerotic, chemopreventive, antiinflammatory, antimutagenic and antimicrobial [1, 3].  Aronia melanocarpa is a species native to eastern North America. It grows and develops well in the Botanical Garden (I) of the ASM. In our country, it is cultivated rarely, usually by amateurs [3, 4]. Aronia varieties are quite undemanding to soil. However, they grow better in light soils with sufficient moisture. They are resistant to drought, frost, pests, diseases and early spring frosts. The variety “Alecsandrina” grows and develops well in full sun and part shadow. It starts vegetating early, when the average temperature is of 4.5-7 °C. The variety “Alecsandrina” is a 1-1.5 m tall shrub with glabrous stems. The leaves are 7-9 cm long, elliptic or ovate to oblong oblanceolate, acuminate or obtuse. On the upper side, the leaves are green and glossy, and on the lower side – lighter green, glabrous. Its vegetative stage starts in early spring (March-April), depending on the climate conditions of Moldova. The shoots begin to grow when buds open and end – in late July or early August. The flowers of this variety are white, 1.5 cm in diameter, grouped by 5-25 in glabrous, corymb inflorescences. It blooms in April-May. The flowering stage lasts from 10 to 17 days, depending on climatic conditions at the time of flowering. Fruits are globoid, 0.8-1.5 cm in diameter, black or purple-black, shiny, covered with a light, bluish waxy bloom and have a specific sour-sweet taste. The mass 100 of fruits of the variety “Alecsandrina” was of 113 g. The number of fruits in a corymb ranged from 5 to 25, and in 1kg – 885. “Alecsandrina” variety differs essentially regarding the following characters: plant height, mass of 100 fresh fruits and fruit content in a kg. It is highly productive, fructifies regularly and early, beginning with the age of 2-3 years and has high degree of fruit development of 90-95%.  The studied variety propagates vegetatively (by lignified and semi-lignified cuttings) and generatively [4]. Seeds are sown in autumn or spring. It can be propagated by marcottage, root cuttings and division of the bush. Aronia is a wonderful source of health, a gift from nature if we cultivate it.  The variety “Alecsandrina” may be used as highly productive fruit, honey plant, for amelioration of forests and green spaces, can be planted on lawns or in small groups in thickets, at the edge of forests.
